I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 1 :—
In sub-section (1), line 34, the word "three" deleted and the word "five" inserted instead.
This deals with the appeal board. When the Bill was introduced, and as it left the Dáil, it was provided that there would be three members on the appeal board. I was persuaded in the Seanad to extend that to five. I thought myself that three would be better, for more than one reason, the principal reason being the difficulty of getting ten people for both boards. I was persuaded that that could be done, and that it would be better and more acceptable to have five.
